You are working in a company since some time and you think
you are performing well but not getting rewarded and if you plan to ask your
employer or manager but do not know how, here are the following ways to ask for
a hike in pay:

Before proceeding to
ask for a hike in pay try to be fully informed about your job role and the
salaries and the pay scale that is on offer for your job and its roles and
responsibilities outside your company and try to be honest with yourself
whether you are being really underpaid and don’t assume without knowing.

After evaluating
yourself, try to know the company policy guidelines and protocol for raising
the salaries on a particular set of criteria and know whether you qualify as
per the company policy after checking that you fully qualify proceed further.

Have a clear idea of
why you want a hike in pay and how much you want your new pay to be, and then
you should be able to back it up with proper support.

When you are asking
for a pay raise you should be in a position to answer why you are going for a
pay raise and list out your achievements and special accomplishments which are
more than your job role.

Having known
everything you can then ask your manager to schedule a meeting between you two
and try to give backing to all your reasons and explain to him/her clearly the
reasons behind asking a hike in pay and try to be professional by avoiding any
personal inferences or comparisons and offering to resign, it really gives a
negative statement about you.
